Garden Design Tips for Creating a Rain Garden:
-A rain garden can be as formal or as wild as you like—it’s all about the plant selection.
-Consider making a depression within a perennial bed or shrub border (especially if space is tight and you don’t have room for a larger rain garden that stands alone).
-Put in more than one rain garden for repetition and continuity. If it works with your overall design, create a little rain garden for each downspout.
-Pick a shape that works with the rest of your garden design. A rain garden does not need a specific shape to function properly so feel free to be creative.
